Are there any other mothers of young children that are struggling to find the energy to get in shape? I need motivation!

    I have a two year old and four year old. I used to fit my workouts in during nap time but my two year decided he is too good for naps :O). Now I do it during part of their screen time for the day or DH and I both push jogger strollers and go out for a run a couple days a week. It is hard and I give props to those that go to work too. I am probably going to have to start getting up before them soon and not look forward to a 5:30 wake up.

    It is possible though. Just make sure that you schedule time for you. I used to feel a bit guilty about making sure I had the time but I am much better for it and about 40 lbs lighter :wink:

    I have a 5 year old, 4 year old, 2 year old, and 7 week old. I've been working out 5-6 days a week for the past 3 weeks and it's going well! I do fitness blender work outs on youtube, which I love. Huge variety and I can find one no matter how much time I have. It's going to get much harder when I go back to work part-time next week. :(

    I agree I have three with my youngest being 3 and the hardest to loose the weight after her. I've joined a gym started out sponging well but then haven't been in two months. Half the problem is I'm too busy which my schedule will change soon but I also feel more tired when I do not work out.

    I have a 10 year old, 9 year old, and a 4 month old and I work full time. It's defintely a daily struggle trying to find the time to work out as well as eat healthy. I've decided I'm just gonna have to start waking up around 5:30 to fit in a workout before the baby wakes up and the madness starts to get the kids ready and off to school begin. Adding you

    My son is 3, I work full time and my husband is in the military stationed 90 miles away. He comes home 3 weekends a month (for about a day and a half each time). I just started working out yesterday. I am waking up at 5:30 (will probably have to get up a little earlier) to do my workout in my living room. When I get home from work, my motivation to exercise is minimal. Once I get in the habit of going to bed early and wake up early, I think it will get easier.
